Where in the stub does this limitation come from, and how would you
suggest to correct it?

I admit I've never heard of this limitation before.  Did you post
something about it to the news group?  It is important that people
know about such problems.  For example, a few people asked me why
stubediting their programs to 64KB transfer buffer actuallt made them
slower in I/O, and I couldn't explain that.
